Dell board may delay founder-buyout vote if on track to tank

Dell may delay a Friday shareholder vote on a $24.4 buyout offer from its founder Michael Dell and a private equity firm by about a week, Bloomberg reported Tuesday, citing an unnamed person familiar with the matter.

A special committee of the board is likely to make the decision by Friday morning if the number of votes already cast would mean the proposal from Dell and Silver Lake Management fails, according to the report's source.
